Mulyani installs 24 new officials prior to departure

 The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Wed, 05/12/2010 8:49 PM | Business
Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati installed on Wednesday 24 new second echelon officials in the last inauguration ceremony she presided over before her departure to Washington DC.

The ceremony looked like a farewell party, with Mulyani handing over her unfinished jobs, particularly the landmark bureaucratic reform, to all the Finance Ministry employees.

“I put my hope in you, because this will be the last time I install new officials. I want you all to become my representatives, face, dreams and hopes. As you have been with me for a long time and know my character well, I believe you understand what I want,” Mulyani said as quoted by kompas.com

A journalist covering the event could not hold back tears, while many Finance Ministry officials opted to look down.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has approved Mulyani’s resignation, which will allow her to take the World Bank managing director post. Her term will start on June 1.
